The accommodation is a typical house in the area, completely built in “white Majella stone”, overviewing the village main road.
The atmosphere is fascinating, as the silence lets you hear the sounds coming from the surrounding nature, almost uncontaminated...
This uninhabited village offers a unique experience, really one of a kind, for no more than 10 people hosted in our b&b.

Alessio was very welcoming at his B&B in the quaint village of Roccacaramanico. We are quite used to fumbling through our Italian but Alessio enlisted a local to translate. He made sure we had everything we needed and even checked in on us to ensure we had the heat on during a couple frigid days. Their place was wonderful and I would happily recommend Lu Candon to any traveler searching for a peaceful retreat amongst the picturesque mountains of Abruzzo. Grazie Alessio!

Lovely little village nestled in the magic of Majella. Hospitality, warmth, attention to detail, linen that smells of laundry, have the right ingredients to make your stay in this house just perfect and relaxing. Great for those who love to travel with their children, in fact nicknamed by me and my son "House of the Fairies." The fantastic thing and that they are guests even our four-legged friends so we could also bring with us our little Sofia a Cuccioletta Pincher Toy. I'll just make sure to experience!

Built with in-view stone from the Majella mountains, every part of this charming cottage has been renovated with attention to detail and furnished tastefully. All rooms have a shared bathroom on the same floor and there is a large secluded garden. The cottage is a stone’s throw from the village of Roccacaramanico in a peaceful position.

The stream flowing by the house, the silence you can enjoy while admiring the view from the garden, the tasteful furniture and décor, the large fireplace to warm the snowy evenings of winter… all this will make your stay at Casale Majella unique!

We had a great stay in Roccacaramanico. The house with its big fireplace is very cosy, especially in the winter. It is tastefully furnished and an ideal place to relax, falling asleep to the sound of the little stream running next to the house. Federico is a very nice, friendly and an extremely helpful host, who provided us with a lot of useful information beforehand, recommended a mountain guide, a place for horseback riding (which we loved), and simply had a solution to every question that occurred while there. Would certainly stay there again next time around!

What else can I say about the Majella House, except absolutely beautiful! We were the only ones to stay that week, so we luckily got the whole house to ourselves. And thanks to Federico, we had the best time we had ever had in years. The moment we got there, he and his dog "Maja" treated us like we've known eachother for years. From there, it was one adventure after another. He introduced us to the cheese lady, who we bought freshly made cheeses (Pecorino, Ricotta, Mozzarella) from, and they were all very delicious and brimming with flavor. He took us around the local neighborhoods and then eventually we all relaxed at one of the cafes with their breathtaking view of the mountains. He took us hiking, while we picked and ate organic strawberries along the way. And please do not forget to swim in the beautiful river located behind his house, which is filled with all kinds of natural minerals. The mountains of Majella and its people emanated with such positive and radiant energy, that we didn't want to leave. We will definitely be returning to his place time and time again. Federico, thank you so much for the best time ever!!!

The Village
Sant’Eufemia a Maiella
The village of Sant’Eufemia a Maiella is a little
medieval pearl in the heart of Abruzzo’s region.
It is situated within the Majella National Park,
at 900m above sea level, but no more than 50km away from it, between the mountains of Maiella and Morrone; surrounded by woods, valleys andrivers, rich in flora and fauna in a wonderful natural environment.
There are several Churches, Palaces, the Ethnographic Museum and the rich Botanical Gardens.
Rich of natural areas for relax and trails for hiking or mountain biking in the mountains of the National Park.
Numerous bus links with neighbouring
centres.
In a few minutes by car you reach Passo San
Leonardo (cross country skiing and downhill)
and Caramanico (Spa Centre).
Sant’Eufemia a Maiella has as district the splendid medieval village Roccacaramanico, at more than 1000 metres above sea level, abandoned in the ‘ 80 but is returning slowly to new life.
Sant’Eufemia as people there call it, is still a genuine and welcoming old village with traditions rooted into genuine food making and respect of nature.
No wonder is famous among locals for
the quality of its handmade cheese bread and first class meat.
Being in the heart of the beautiful Maiella
mountain, winter usually covers the village
with snow for few weeks per year, creating an
enchanting and silent atmosphere that invites
to long nights in front of the fire place tasting
quality local wine and meat after a skiing day,
while kids play snowballs and games with the
friendly neighbours.
On summer the place changes face and
morphs into a vibrant and active playground
for eno-gastronimc, historical and cultural
tourism, or simply to regenerate oneself into
nature, with long horse rides on the mountain
or hiking in the woods.

The Region
It would be difficult to underestimate the national and international importance of
the Abruzzo Parks in the protection of the environment and of biodiversity, bearing in
mind that 75% of all Europe’s flora and fauna species are represented in this region!
Abruzzo: Europe’s greenest region
In Abruzzo, a third of the territory is set aside in protected areas:
three National Parks, a Regional Park and more than 30 Nature
Reserves. A visionary and tough decision by those who have made the environment their resource and will project Abruzzo
into a major and leading role in “green tourism”.
Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature,
with two thirds of its territory found at over 750 metres in altitude, but is also its coast surprisingly rich of dream like
scenarios.The “mighty mountain” Majella’s bed reaches down to
just a few kilometres from the coast, with the taller peaks ranged behind like a spectacular balcony; the rest of the territory is occupied by the stalwart hills, sloping gently down to the sea.
The narrow coastal strip, with the terminals of the river valleys, are the only lowaltitude plains in the region.
This tormented territory and forceful nature, with whom it is necessary to coexist, has allowed the survival – in its multiple
habitats – of a huge number of flora and fauna, configuring.
Abruzzo as a “green” region, the Italian treasure chest of Italian's biodiversity.
A huge number of animals and plants, once widespread on the entire Apennine, have found a final natural refuge in Abruzzo,
thus avoiding extinction. Several such cases, and emblems of the region, are the chamois, the wolf, the Marisca brown bear: three
species whose survival has depended totally on the local mountains; then we might mention the eagle, the lynx, the otter,
which still resides here
The region’s integrated network of Parks and Nature Reserves, with the incredible variety of its typical complementary natural
environments, have allowed the conservation and protection of a huge number of resident and migrant species. The overall size of
the sheer range of Abruzzo’s natural habitats (marine, river and lake,
woods, mountain, high altitude) means that today, more than ever, the region is a sort of wonderful biolaboratory that protects
nature and ecosystems.

Apartment equipped with all comforts. Situated in a strategic location for hiking trails in the Park. We loved the availability of those who accompanied us to the apartment, finding then that's something in the fridge and in the cupboard is a point important favor. The balcony with a good view of the mountains we did spend their evenings. The bedrooms are airy and suppose well warm in winter. As expected, the bathroom was excellent. Say no more, but as host I highly recommend a visit for anyone who loves nature is good food.

"Un'oasi" if a perfect way to describe Daniele's home. We were in contact with Daniele a few days before our arrival because the address was not very specific - (once there it was easy to understand why,) and we wanted to find out how to locate the apartment. He immediately wrote back offering to either give us specific written instructions or offering to meet us at anytime we wished in the piazza of the village. We opted for the easy way and said it would be great to meet him in the square. Although Daniele was not there to meet us, his parents were! A truly lovely couple who had us follow them in our car to the apartment - which was only about two minutes away, but with the lack of street signs could have been confusing to find. Once at the apartment I immediately noticed the large bowl of fresh fruit on the table and the terrace with the mountain views. There was also spaghetti and tomato sauce in the cabinet incase we wanted to cook in. But who would want to cook in when we were told about the wonderful restaurant just a three minute walk from the house. We ate there every night and it was absolutely delicious. (Charles and I tend to travel on our stomaches - easy to do in Italy.) We were also told of a wonderful cheese shop that seemed to specialize in homemade yoghurt and told where we could buy other things we might need. They explained that internet was available for free in the main square next to the tourist office. The village of Sant'Eufemia is a perfect place to use as a base for hiking and exploring the surrounding area. Trail maps and books are available at the tourist office with helpful personnel to offer tips or make suggestions. As the reader can tell, if you are still reading, my husband and I had a wonderful time and Daniele's "oasi" truly is, just that.

We spent a quiet holiday week in Sant'Eufemia, from which it was easy to get to many hiking paths in wonderful places. Eufemia is a very nice country and the people are nice and kind. The house of Daniel was perfect for us, spacious, comfortable and equipped with all you need, we have not had any problems.

cute apartment, for lovers of the countryside and the rustic. The setting is peaceful, animated by the presence of a nearby petting zoo with animals of various species. Need a car to reach the main services such as supermarkets, shops and restaurants. The village of Pacentro is just under 10 minutes drive away. Gabriella is an available host and communicative.

Thank you Gabriella. We had a great stay, warmly welcome ..uncomplicated. we felt like home from the first momenton.We can really recommend your house in pure nature, best for people who like walking in the mountains. And it is very close to Sulmona, close to reach cultural sites.

Were the days spent relaxing and quiet, thanks also to the surrounding environment and the characteristics of the village, silence, peace and armonia.Gabriella was available as his sister Margaret, who welcomed us and accompanied to the house. About the house I can say that it is essential and equipped with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. Recommended for those who love nature and who do not have huge demands because it is still a pastoral house and not a hotel.
